Learner Differencces (class 03/28/11)

Box 19.1                           //Check This Entry//


1-How important do you think motivation is for succes in language learning, compared to, for example, language aptitude?

I think the motivation is essential for success in language learning, every one of us have differents motivations, some people want to learn because they want to be professionals like a teacher, translator, interpreter etc. or they want to travel, work maybe is a challenge personal. every one of us know our motivations.

Some people have aptitudes for learn other language I think is important because is a help for the person, but it is not the most important in the language learning.

You can have habilities to learn but if you dont have the perseverance your aptitudes are useless.

Some time we appreciate the things most difficult for us, these could be a motivation.


2-What characteristics and behaviours do you associate with the image of a motivated learner?

A responsible and persistent person. I think these people learn about their bad calification, errors and also they will study most for the next time, their knowledges are reflected day to day.



 
 
Box 20.2
Survey of student opinion
                                                                        
            
                                                                         1 -      Number of people: Six people

   2- Most popular choices: There were the number 2 (it is important for a teacher to care a lot about his/her teaching) and the number 4 (a good teacher treats his/her students with fairness and respect.)

   3- Least popular options: There was the number 16 (a good teacher uses corporal punishment occasionally.)

   4- A possible explanation for the most popular choices, I think my classmates chose the number 2 maybe like students we need that the teachers give us a good teaching and as future teachers we must to care a lot about our teaching, because the form of teaching could change the learning of the students and about to the number 4 I think all good teacher must respect to her student. In the classroom must has a good environment for learn.

5-     Least popular options: There was the number 16 (a good teacher uses corporal punishment occasionally.) About this point I think a teacher can not uses corporal punishment, that would be a great mistake.
